Scott Adams, the cartoonist, creator of the highly popular Dilbert, which satirized office culture, has announced he has a similar prostate cancer to Joe Biden that has spread to his bones.
His thesis was that “leadership is nature’s way of removing morons from the productive flow”. ‘By the Dilbert principle, employees who were never competent are promoted to management to limit the damage they can do.’
In recent years, Adams has come under fire for espousing far-right views and conspiracy theories on social media and was dropped by newspapers who carried his work.
Born 8 June 1957 2.30am New York, he has a Gemini Sun in his communicative 3rd house opposition an 8th house Saturn. His creative, attention-seeking and influential 5th house Pluto is in a dogmatic square to Mercury in Taurus. His Mercury is also trine Jupiter in Virgo in his hard-working 6th house, sextile heated Mars in Cancer in his emotional 4th house.
A charming 3rd house Venus in Cancer is trine Neptune and a Libra Moon in his 7th, sextile Pluto. A 5th house Uranus is also square his Moon Neptune. Certainly talented, with a drive to communicate his often intransigent opinions and emotionally complicated – lacking commitment, demanding and argumentative at home.
His creative 5th Harmonic is well aspected and noteworthy; as is his leaving-a-legacy 17H and his global influencer 22H.
He’s had a series of health problems over recent years with his eyesight and vocal chords.
Tr Pluto started to square his Moon in 2021, moving on to square his Neptune in 2024/25. He said he was diagnosed with cancer some time ago which might fit with those influences. And his Progressed Moon has been moving through his 12th house since 2022 which can be an inward looking time of endings (though not necessarily as dramatic or difficult as this).
An interesting man.
Today he wrote: “I have decided on a path of treatment but won’t be telling you the details because I think you know how that would go.
My odds of survival have probably jumped from zero to 30%. I’ll be working with top doctors in the field.”
He means so many people have been recommending Ivermectin and FenBen which he did try (he’s stage 4, you’ll try most things then) that he doesn’t want more armchair docs giving him advice.
I like Scott, tho not that interested in many things he talks about such as AI and robots. He has Mercury square Pluto which I imagine makes for a very intense person but I think as you age you learn and I’ve always impressed he can see both sides of a story and is open to being wrong. I do wish him the best as I would anyone facing such a disease.
He’s always been a bit out there. His 1997 book “The Dilbert Future” is a standard collection of his thoughts and cartoons on work and corporations. Then in the last chapter it veers off into talking about New Age stuff like using affirmations to create your future – how he used them to pass a test that he shouldn’t have passed, buying stock and to make him a best-selling cartoonist. “The Secret” before Rhonda. I was just about to make a sarcastic comment about how he might use visualisation to cure his cancer and then I remembered he actually tells the story about having a lump which his physician says may or may not be cancer so he uses affirmations to ensure it isn’t.
Adams is also a firm believer in manifestation and power of affirmations – he even made a Dilbert comic about it. I think Wikipedia links to it. He claims it really worked for him in many instances.
It is odd – do you know when he started to swing right?
@Marjorie and other knowledgeable astrologers, is there any astrological marker for a sudden shift in ideological views, as with Adams and others who have gone full-MAGA or embraced other extremist views? This could be political, religious or other ideology that might reject a prior mindset or lifestyle in favor of something else, perhaps even a cult?
Just curious and trying to understand what motivates people. Thanks!
Adams will be 68 years old early June. From the AGE INCIDENCE OF DISEASE TABLE,
at this age his MC/IC axis will be activated at 10Cp/10Cn. Also the axis perpendicular,
i.e. 10Ar/10LI will be activated and this axis falls in his 12th/6th Houses of illness.
Shown below is his current triwheel, displaying indicators for prostate, and
prostate cancer. Notably King, cancer indicator aspects his Asc, the body.
